I’m calling on @SecRubio and @SecWar to deploy a Navy hospital ship to Venezuela. The earthquakes have killed over 920 people and injured thousands.
The USNS Comfort and Mercy can save lives. Send them now.

When disaster strikes, we answer the call. USA-01 is enroute to #Venezuela following the devastating earthquakes, w/ 79 personnel, six K9s, and 70k lbs of equipment. We are honored to represent the US, bringing our expertise, compassion, & unwavering dedication to those affected.
As a member of the Foreign Affairs committee I will put in a formal request to @SecRubio to immediately send the USNS Mercy or the USNS Comfort. @chefjoseandres
🇻🇪🇸🇻 Miracle rescue in Venezuela: a young girl was found ALIVE on the 9th floor of a collapsed building… along with her pet!
Bukele’s team is breaking through walls right now to get her out.
Her mom is waiting downstairs.
Never lose hope.

🇻🇪 WATCH: A miracle in progress as a dog is pulled alive from a collapsed high-rise in Caracas.
Nearly 200 are dead, and thousands are injured following yesterday’s dual seismic event.
Praying more survivors are found.

We will immediately contribute 1 million dollars from the @LTFund to help Venezuela earthquake mayhem, supporting @WCKitchen who is already mobilizing! #ChefsForVenezuela Let’s hope is not as bad as it looks….🙏🙏
Devastating video. Praying for the people there. As someone who was an Emergency Management director, search and rescue operations are what matters right now.
🇻🇪 To put yesterday's earthquakes into perspective, a geologist says they released energy equivalent to about 260 nuclear bombs.
Just imagine the force behind that.

BREAKING: Secretary of State Marco Rubio gives an update on America’s recovery efforts to help the Venezuelan people after the country was hit by a pair of historic and deadly earthquakes.
“We're already deploying search and rescue teams from Fairfax County, Virginia, and Los Angeles. There will be some others we'll add. That's their most immediate need right now, is search and rescue efforts- they have much of collapsed buildings. And so they'll need a lot of help in terms of digging through that.”
“We've already stood up our disaster response teams at the Department of State and our humanitarian efforts. It's something we did very well in Jamaica, after that storm, and it's something we're really prepared to do now.”
Five years ago, Surfside was shaken to its core when the Champlain Towers South collapsed, and 98 lives were lost forever.
When I was on the ground in the days after it happened, I saw firsthand the devastation this tragedy left behind. This should have never happened. Their memory demands more than a tweet. We must do better by the communities we serve.
There is broad bipartisan agreement that student loan debt is a problem that needs to be addressed, yet Congress has failed to act.
That's why I'm filing a discharge petition with @RepLuna to bring our bill to the floor. This would cap federal student loan interest at 2% so borrowers can actually get ahead, with no cost to taxpayers.
If Members truly believe student loan debt is holding Americans back, then they should sign onto this discharge petition.
Student loan debt is not a partisan issue it’s an American issue. My discharge petition will bring H.R. 2003 Affordable Loans for Students Act straight to the floor and cap federal student loan interest rates at 2%
To be clear: this is not a bailout, this is about making sure Americans who are trying to build a better future don’t have to spend their whole lives trying to pay off their debts.

Thank you to Congressman Moskowitz for supporting infrastructure projects that help keep Boca Raton connected and safe.
